- You can drop this line; INPUT, OUTPUT simply means the program reads
- from stdin and writes to stdout on units 5 and 6. Too bad you didn't
- give the etc, I suppose it is something like TAPE7=FOO or so, which is
- equivalent to OPEN( 7, FILE = 'FOO' ). Also beware of the crazy `file'
- structure on CDCs where you have several files in a file ;-), i.e., you
- can read beyond EOF and get more data. Check if your code does anything
- with END=label on READs.

- Can you give a little more information? Sometimes even Unix error
- messages give a little more information. Also try to compile -g (debug,
- check you f77 man page for the correct switch) than a traceback might
- have a line number in it.
